To celebrate her birthday Florence throws a party. She wants to please

her guests so she makes sure she keeps filling their glasses with

champagne and encourages them to dance in the living room.

While Brian is dancing, his wristwatch gets caught in Ermintrude's hair.

As he pulls his hand away he rips some of her hair out. Angry about

this, Ermintrude waits until his back is turned and hits him on the back

causing him to fall forward. His head hits the wall and a picture hanging

on the wall falls and hits him on the head. Brian is left with bruising and

a large lump on his forehead. The picture frame smashes into pieces.

Dylan is in the kitchen eating a homemade mushroom pie. Unknown to

him, Florence baked the pie with mushrooms which she knew to have

psychedelic properties. She did this thinking it would help her guests

relax and have fun. Dylan begins hallucinating and, as Rusty walks into

the kitchen, Dylan believes Rusty is a dinosaur about to attack him. He

grabs a knife to defend himself, but stumbles as he does so, cutting

Rusty's arm with the knife. Rusty suffers partial paralysis of his wrist as

a result of nerve damage in his arm.

Later in the evening Florence sees Zeb, whom she does not know and

has not invited to the party. Zeb is drunk and is annoying other guests.

Fearful that things could get unpleasant, Florence grabs an empty

champagne bottle and hits Zeb over the head with it, causing him to

collapse unconscious and bleeding from a head wound. He survives the

attack but needs eight stitches in his head and suffers post-traumatic

stress disorder as a result of the attack.
